What is recorded here

Situated on a prominent hillock, in gently undulating pasture. Monument described as a roughly circular-shaped mound (30m N-S; 28.4m E-W) defined by an inner fosse and an earthen bank. The bank is substantial albeit slightly defaced at NE and S. A large gap in the bank at S may represent an entrance. This monument appears to have been reused as a ringfort, having a large enclosing bank and a later house site (WM026-045001-) in the centre. There is a relatively modern oblong-shaped quarry hole outside the earthwork at NE. See attached plan and profile of the monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.

A Neolithic ring-barrow; significant as a rare and well-preserved example of early funerary architecture in the region.
